Blessed Jutta of Thuringia (ca. 1200-1260)
Patroness of Prussia
OR for 6/25:
No papal stories on Page 1 (photo is from OR's online selection from the issue) but the headlines has to do with
the General Audience at which the Pope spoke of the significance of the Year for Priests and had special words
of concern for children who are victims in many different ways of current conflicts around the world. Another
story says half the inhabitants of every country at war today are refugees; and an editorial commentary on
the new alliance BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, and China) among the 'emerging' giant economies.

- His Highness Fra’ Matthew Festing, Prince and Grand Master of the
